<h1>Election body to schedule pan-India special intensive revision of voter rolls with national ID acceptance, house-to-house checks</h1> The election authority will soon set a date for a pan-India special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, likely before year-end, to clean voter lists ahead of several assembly polls next year. The exercise, following a judicial direction to accept a national identity card as an additional ID, will include house-to-house verification, digitisation checks, polling-station rationalisation to keep elector counts under 1,200, and use of previous SIR rolls as cut-off. A new declaration requires certain applicants to attest to place/date of birth (with parental details) to screen out alleged foreign migrants; critics warn of potential disenfranchisement while the authority stresses protecting roll integrity.
